Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Discussion with CEO of Tusla on Future Developments and Update on Childcare Facilities
Mr. Brian Lee:
The comfort I can give the Deputy in terms of the 595 is that a service that has conditions is, as said earlier, subject to further scrutiny and monitoring by the inspectorate. The reason we use conditions is to support us in providing more effective monitoring of these services. If we identify a particular concern and we attach a condition, it allows us to limit that service in terms of its work and then ensure it addresses the non-compliance. We can assure parents that those services are subject to considerably more monitoring and oversight by Tusla.
